Dynamic Symmetry: The Greek Vase is a book written by Jay Hambidge, an American artist and mathematician. The book explores the concept of dynamic symmetry, a mathematical system that was used by the ancient Greeks to create harmonious compositions in art and architecture. The focus of the book is on the Greek vase, which Hambidge argues is the perfect example of dynamic symmetry in practice. He analyzes various examples of Greek vases, discussing their proportions, shapes, and decorative elements. He also delves into the symbolism and mythology behind many of the images depicted on the vases.Throughout the book, Hambidge provides detailed diagrams and illustrations to help readers understand the principles of dynamic symmetry. He also includes historical context and cultural insights to give readers a deeper understanding of the significance of the Greek vase in ancient Greek society.Overall, Dynamic Symmetry: The Greek Vase is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between art and mathematics in ancient Greece. It is a must-read for anyone interested in art history, mathematics, or the ancient world.1920. When the discovery was made that the design forms of the Greek vase were strictly dynamic and it became apparent that an analysis of a sufficient number of vase examples would be equivalent to the recovery of the technical methods of Greek designers of the classic age, William Sergeant Kendall, Dean of the Yale School of the Fine Arts, immediately recognized its importance and offered his personal service and that of the University to help in the arduous task of gathering reliable material for a volume.
